Childhood has changed. In the 70s (according to the Brady Bunch), a date would come to the door and introduce himself to the parents. Then the little couple would ride off on his bike. Today, I've heard of teens as young as 14 trusted behind the wheel and driving their dates around.
Kids are growing up way too fast. The link below is about an art show at Hofstra University showcasing the changes in American childhood. It posted a few paintings contrasting childhood from the past couple decades versus the late 1800s.
Though their attire can't speak as much as their behavior, it does offer some glimpse of insight.
